Thanks for your observations. Me lamento que yo no pasara por Guanica cuando yo estaba en PR. Mucha gente me decian buenas cosas de Guanica. What type of tree is the purple flowering one that looks like a flamboyan? I only saw two the time I lived there. How come?

Educando a los no-educados:

El pasado martes, mientras le daba una ayuda a una joven estudiante de arquitectura paisajista en su proyecto de Tesis, me comentó sobre este Blog discutía sobre “Pendejismo paisajista”.

I called the USGBC a week or two back they are just beginning to print certificates for those who passed between may and june.

I’m in Southern California too and passed the exam just before the cutoff – it only took 6 or so weeks to get my certificate and listing on the website. I know they are a little behind because of the rush to take the exam before the v2.2 cutoff, but I would be a little more proactive if I was you…you don’t want this to fall through the cracks…[Read more]

thanks. i did check the website and didn’t see my name listed yet but hopeful as you said they are probably just behind schedule.

Check your status on the USGBC web site. If you are listed as a LEED AP there, everything should be fine and you can assume they are just behind in sending out the certificates.

Daniel C. Miller posted an update in the group LEED in Landscape Architecture 15 years, 5 months ago

Just got an e-mail regarding GBCI Credentialing Maintenance Program for those of us that have been accredited without specialization under the old system. Was wondering if anyone has dug deeper into what this really means for us and if upgrading to a specialization will pay off in the end?

Charles A. Warsinske posted an update in the group LEED in Landscape Architecture 15 years, 5 months ago

Just slid into this group. Many of the Washington State funded building design projects require a LEED certification. I’ve been involved in the number of LEED workshops on projects for community colleges in the state. I am not up to speed on the newer landscape/site related LEED certification. I know from past projects, the landscape/site related…[Read more]

Do you guys know the ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center in Hilo on the Big Island? I think its an wonderful example for how much you can do w/ native and polynesien plants.
My favorite garden though is Uncle Roberts Hawaiian Garden down in Kalapana. Its open to everybody and its just awesome because it’s so authentic!

Anna Yorba posted an update in the group Hawaiian Garden Design 15 years, 6 months ago

That’s encouraging to hear you bring an ‘added value’ to your office and that you’re getting LEED projects (and platinum at that).Good for you!
